Suzanne Vega’s eclectic folk songs have earned her a place as one of our times most cherished songwriters. She uses her songs and her sharp lyrical wit to express her own keenly poetic view of the world. Songs like “Luka,” and “Tom’s Diner” have rightfully made her a household name through their brilliantly executed stories and their innovative production. Vega took folk songs inspired by her Greenwich Village home and paired them with electronic pop production. The result was something dark, beautiful, and street wise. A sound which ushered in the neo-folk revolution. Vega’s influence is evident in artists like Shawn Colvin, Tracy Chapman, and The Indigo Girls.

She continues to innovate, performing and recording tirelessly. She’s performed with the Soul Rebels Brass Band, took part in the Sparklehorse, Danger Mouse, David Lynch collaboration “Dark Night Of The Soul,” and even gone back and reworked old material, showing that even if there is new ground to be broken she still has a reverence for the old favorites which brought her to the peak of American songwriting.
